Melanie
Is it bad that I wanted to stop to spy on Arlen's date? I'm not nosy or anything, or maybe I am. I just wanted to see how his date was going, but I stopped myself and decided to just go home, it had been a long day and I didn't want to cause Arlen any trouble. I guess maybe I was just worried, I don't know I kinda found this girl suspicious. Arlen had dated a couple of girls throughout the years, he was the type of guy, girls loved. I had always been able to be ok with it. But Emila looked like the type of girl to steal your breath away, If you were a guy, you loved her and wanted to be with her, If you were a girl you wanted to be her. I knew it as soon as I saw Arlen caught his eyes on her. He had the glare in his eyes, the one he gave to every girl he ever loved. Why does it kill me inside that I didn't look like her? I mean I was the exact opposite she had straight blonde hair with blue eyes, and I had wavey dark brown hair with brown eyes.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUDcSbrvf
I just sat in my car with my hand on my face sulking, how did my life end up like this? I got home and just plopped onto my bed. I felt so tired that I knocked out hard. Buzz Ugh what’s that noise, I’m still so tired. I grabbed my phone, it was already 3:00 pm Gosh I had been asleep for a while and I was still wearing the same clothes. It was Arlen, It was like everything in me woke up just seeing his name. What is wrong with me, just answer his message it’s not a big deal. I unlocked the phone and opened his message “ How was your date?” Is he really asking me how my date was?!?! I responded, “ How was your date?” There I don’t know what else he expected me to say. “ Answer my question first, Mel” Gosh why did he have to be so sassy? “ Answer my question first, Arlen” Two can play this game. “ Are you serious right now Mel?” Eye roll “ Yes I am” I’m sorry boy but you aren’t getting anything from me. “ I’m coming over “ No is he crazy?!?! He then just stopped responding to me. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBYuWQFqp
Ugh, why won't he ever leave things alone? I was pacing around my room, what am I supposed to say? I was shaking, this shouldn't be serious but everything lately had been crazy. I just didn't want Arlen to get mixed up in it, he doesn't need to worry about me. I walked to my bathroom and fixed my hair, I looked like a mess probably cause I was just asleep. Deep breath, everything is fine.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCrQqUk9T
I jumped when I heard the knock on my door and then I heard " Mel?" It was just Arlen, I don't know why I was so startled. I went and opened the door and he came in and plopped onto my bed. " I love your room so much it's so cool," Arlen said sounding so chill and like this was fun to him?!?! I just looked at him like " Are you serious right now?" He gave me a glance back " Like yes, I am " He then said, " Why are you looking at me like that" he sounded sarcastically agitated. " Because you're acting like you didn't just barge into my room against my will", It wasn't like I invited him quite the contrary. " I knocked," he said like he didn't invite himself over. " You came to my house uninvited, You're lucky I let you in my room," I said back crossing my arms and just looking at him. "I just wanted to check on you, geez Mel," he said getting up from the bed. He walked towards me put his hand on my shoulder and said " You ok?" I swallowed, It's like he saw right through me. I held my tears back, I had been less open about my feelings throughout the years with everything that was happening with my family. " I'm Fine," I said pulling away from him. I didn't need to cry. "Uhm," Arlen said clearing his throat, " You want to get some fresh air?" I nodded, maybe it would help me to get some air.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61rpxpFTQV
We walked out of the house to walk through the city, it was dark out but everyone here knew that the city looked better at night, seeing all the building lights shine was pretty and felt somewhat calming. We just walked sightly, I already felt a bit better. We cut through an alley. When this blinding light came out of nowhere, I was immediately aware of everything around me.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLShdGowkW
People were rushing into the alley, focus you got this. I kicked my leg hitting one guy, and swinging my arm was no use. They already had me and before I knew it I was in a moving truck. I couldn't see a thing. I groaned so hard, what had my life become? I felt a shoulder bump mine and I immediately knew it was Arlen, when you know someone for so long, you know you kinda just get really familiar with them and things like their mannerisms, touch, and scent. So I knew for sure it was him. Who else would be here? It was just me and him in the alley. I scooched closer to him, it made me feel a little more safe having him there. The truck then came to an abrupt stop. I heard the door open and I was taken away. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQrZkEXZ7
I was thrown on the floor and still couldn't see, they had blindfolded me. I could hear voices in the background but couldn't make out what they were saying. My blindfold was then torn off, it was a room similar to the one I was in yesterday. I felt agitated again. A guy was standing in front of me wearing all black staring at me. " What do you want," I said kinda shaking, my arms were tied behind me and there was no sign of Arlen. " Calm down Melanie, I'm not gonna hurt you unless you decide to do something stupid," he said so creepily, even the way he said my name was so creepy. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5McD121p
" I'm Just making sure you are sticking with the plan, don't even think about messing with it," What even is the plan? "I'm following along with your plan perfectly fine, so let me go," I said still trying to wiggle my hand out of the tape. " Ha, you're not leaving just yet Melanie. See things aren't that easy. You may not like any of these guys but you have no choice unless you want to die," his voice darkening even more. I felt a shiver down my spine. "Where's Arlen?" I said kinda shouting, I was nervous now, Where could they have taken him. "Don't worry darling he's perfectly fine. Now hush and wait patiently," he said leaving the room. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRGaRx4Vye
I was trying so hard to rip the tape from my wrists now I didn't want to admit it but I was scared, I needed to get out of here. I felt mad and sad at the same time, I knew my mother was behind this how could she. I swallowed back my tears. I needed to get out of here, and that was all I could think of. The guy then came back grabbing me and saying he was gonna take me home. He threw me back in the car, and I assumed he threw Arlen in too. Then we drove back to my house. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13OTq7tLEk
I felt so drained, but soon we arrived. The truck came to an abrupt stop and I heard the back doors open. I was pulled out and my blindfold was taken off. There we were standing right in front of my house, the guy before leaving stepped near me and whispered in my ear "Don't think about doing anything stupid or you'll see what happens" I felt another shiver down my spine, I then felt Arlen thug my arm pulling me away closer to him. 11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1avfjnh1s9
We then began to walk to the door. " What did they say to you?" I asked him, wondering where they had taken him. " I'm going to sleep over," he said completely avoiding my question. "What?" I said back. " Mel, you can't act like everything is ok," he said, " I'm not," I shot back. " I'm not gonna leave you alone," he said back as we walked through the door.
